Action Item: Stop House Bill 802, Mandatory Seat Belt Law
As many people are aware, the NH State House recently voted 153 to 140 to mandate all individuals buckle up when they are in a vehicle. This flies in the face of NH’s ‘Live Free Or Die’ motto, and the personal freedoms and liberties this state stands for. House Bill 802 not only mandates that all individuals buckle up, but it also will be a primary offense, meaning police officers will be able to pull someone over if they suspect someone in the car is not wearing their seat belt.
Action must now be taken in the NH Senate to stop this anti-freedom legislation. Molly Kelly, who represents the Keene area, has not made up her mind on this issue yet. Now is the time for anyone who believes in personal choice to make the call and speak out against this legislation.
Molly Kelly can be reached at home by calling (603) 352-5605 or at her office by calling (603) 271-7803. She has also asked that people who have statistics or other information on this matter to e-mail her at molly.kelly@leg.state.nh.us.
